Health Services

Wellness Programs

The Health Services Wellness Center encourages students to lead
a safe and healthy lifestyle. Students are offered health education
during all patient visits. Additionally, Health and Wellness
Information Tables are conducted regularly, as are dorm and
campus-wide presentations. These programs are designed to provide a
positive learning and healthy social environment on campus.

Wellness Information Tables

Health and Wellness Information Tables are conducted biweekly in
Aquinas Hall at The View. Topics such as smoking cessation, alcohol
use, the benefits of exercise and stress management are among the
areas that may be covered. Students are encouraged to stop by to
receive important health information and free giveaways.

The Stress-Less Room

As part of our Wellness Suite, Health Services offers students
the use of our "Stress-Less Room," a quiet, private space with
ambient lighting where students can enjoy a comfy massage chair
while listening to their choice of relaxing music or
mindfulness/meditation tracks. We encourage students to make this
type of activity a routine part of their lives, thereby decreasing
stress levels while improving academic performance and overall
wellbeing.

Annual Health and Wellness Fair

Every March, Health Services invites all Mount students, faculty
and staff, as well as the surrounding community, to join us at our
free Health and Wellness Fair. Over fifty organizations
participate, including top medical facilities, insurance companies
and support groups. MSMC student clubs and on campus
departments are also there with creative presentations. The
event features important health information, giveaways, raffles,
and much more. Health screenings such as bone density, cholesterol,
and blood pressure are provided, and free massage sessions are
also available.

Influenza (Flu) Vaccination

During the fall, influenza (flu) vaccines are available
from our office for a $15 fee. Several flu clinics are also
conducted at a variety of locations and times to accomodate
student, staff, and faculty schedules.
